papersun87 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 So I've been looking ahead . . . and I've been wondering about this for a couple of weeks now. And since I'm sick of looking back at USC, I've decided now is the time to take it public. Take a look at our 2009 schedule: Florida Atlantic Louisiana-Lafayette @ Virginia Tech Arkansas State @ Missouri Texas Tech Iowa State @ Baylor Oklahoma @ Kansas Kansas State @ Colorado Think about it . . . in 2009, either Patrick Witt or Zack Lee will be a two-year starter (assuming neither gets injured, of course), a whole bunch of young kids will be juniors or seniors . . . and our schedule is hardly difficult (exceptions noted). . . . could we make a serious national title run in 2009?

get huskin! Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hell, I think we can make that run in 2008!!! GBR! Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Could we? Yes. Will we? Nobody could answer that today. I like your thinking, and I would love that to be true. I just have no clue if Witt or Lee will be a two year starter by then. Or if the young guys turn out to be great. But I'm hopeful right there with you! GBR!!! Quote Link to comment

That's probably about as soft of schedule as we've had for quite a while, so yeah it's possible to make a run. However, VT is starting a freshman this year at QB. He looks to be pretty darn good. He'll be a 3 year starter by that time and they get us at home. OU has I believe a freshman QB starting this year as well that'll be in his 3rd year starting also. Plus, it's possible we have to play OU twice. Conceivable, but we have a long way to go before we seriously need to consider it. Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Right now, it looks like we have a chance to do some damage, but you never know.. A program can get turned around in 2 years, see Wake Forest. So it wont be that cushy when we get to it, but still probably one of our easier ones. Quote Link to comment
I Bleed RED Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Two very tough games on that schedule but the schedule looks good for us. Quote Link to comment

Seems reasonable...BUT...who knows how good Colorado, Kansas, and KSU will be. Granted...if we compare recruiting classes we should have the talent advantage...but really...who knows.. That said...

BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I agree with the post two up from me. It really comes down to the talent we are recruiting in 2008 and 2009 and comparing it to some of those schools. Obviously the toughest games in that schedule are VT and OU. Other than those two games I don't see a problem. Quote Link to comment

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Exactly. Can we just get thru this season first? Quote Link to comment
Bugeater Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Exactly. Can we just get thru this season first? No, we can't because this is the mindset our AD has instilled into the fans. Yeah, we kinda suck now, but we'll be great someday! GBR! Quote Link to comment

How dare you for not starting a 'Fire Coz/Fire Callahan/What would Frank do?' Thread. You should be banned! Damn 800+ posters. Seriously, maybe even throw in Gabbert into the mix by then, who knows. Va Tech will be tough out there, and OU shouldn't be falling off anytime soon. So yeah, at least 2 tough games. That said, let's beat Ball State today! Quote Link to comment
